[Unattended] Error when booting DOS boot disk, cwsdpmi not loading correctly
Hello, everyone .. First of all, I would like to thank the developer's for a promising project, a things could need a little tweaking, but it seems to be working OK .. I have a problem with the boot disk, though .. I got my debian unstable server giving DHCP and tftp, which works nice, and my PXE-enabled NIC loads everything fine, up to the loading of cwsdpmi. It sits there for a bit, then exits with a Undefined error 13. error message, install.pl starts loading, but soon exits with an error message of needing cwsdpmi. Hmm, the Undefined error 13. message doesn't sound like fun, and a quick Google didn't conjure up any solutions, so now I'm wondering if anyone on this list has seen this behaviour, and knows how to correct it. Thanks in advance -- Torbjørn ### This message has been scanned by F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange.

Well, my first suggestion is to try the Linux-based boot disk. My second suggestion is to edit config.sys on the boot disk image (undis3c.img) to umbpci.sys instead of emm386.exe as the UMB provider. The former is there as a commented-out line. Or comment out both lines; if you are lucky, you can get away without any UMB provider at all. Finally, you could copy the boot disk's files to your own disk based on MS-DOS. I am sorry the FreeDOS boot disk has so many problems, but we really cannot redistribute MS-DOS. I am hopeful that FreeDOS will continue to improve over time, and that the Linux boot disk will ultimately supplant it... - Pat --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
